YELLOW Buses’ top performing drivers for last year have been revealed thanks to some clever tracking software.

Each route was recorded and analysed by a ‘Green Road’ system that enables it to rank each driver.

The drivers are judged on their acceleration, braking, cornering, lane handling and speed.

Danny Mahoney, Tony Stakounis, Steve Pain, Dominic Gogolewski and Leon Walker were identified as the company’s top drivers along with Csaba Zekany, David Brown, Mark Brick, Nick Wright and Lucia Caro

Simon Rigler, operations supervisor, said: “We have about 300 drivers in total so to be in the top ten for a year is quite an achievement.

“We also have a prize every month for the best driver and the most improved driver and it’s nice to be able to praise them.

“Importantly the system helps improve standards across the fleet and enables us to give passengers a better service.”
